Overview

Potions are used to convert one type of cheese into a different type of cheese or one type of charm into a different type of charm. Primarily dropped as loot, Hunters can find their Potions in their inventory.

Many cheeses created using potions are necessary for attracting specific mice in specific locations. The same is true for charms created using potions.

Using a potion requires the full quantity of cheese or charms; partial conversion is not possible. The conversion rate for all potions is 1:1, meaning that the amount of cheese or charm used as input is equal to the amount of cheese or charm produced as output by the potion. Using a potion may also use up gold in the process. Using higher quality cheese will generally decrease the cost of conversion and increase the quantity converted. The Hunter's title also affects the amount of cheese converted for some potions.

Conversion Strategy

Hunters should be aware that some cheeses that can be created using potions, may also be obtained in other ways that may require more or less gold.

Hunters should also take into consideration their Hunter's Title when using potions, since larger quantities of the created cheese can sometimes be obtained when a Hunter increases in rank.

Cheese Potions

These potions convert cheeses from one type to another. They are arranged by Cheese Groups based on the cheese created by the potion.

One day, while an alchemist was brewing potions designed to turn lead into gold, he stumbled upon the recipe for this ingenious potion, which, in many hunters' estimations, is just as good. Brie Potion, like the alchemists' elixirs of old, turns baser cheeses, such as Cheddar, Marble or Swiss, into Brie.

Instantly aged upon creation, this cheese provides a tooth-breaking, crunchy, petrified outer shell with that oh-so-gooey nougat of swirling magical energy in the center. The mice of the Bristle Woods Rift are particularly fond of this cheese.

A powerful string cheese swirled around a tasty time vortex. A time-honoured classic with those who have spent aeons to acquire the taste. The more powerful mice in the Bristle Woods Rift find this cheese absolutely irresistible.

This cursed potion produces a sloppy, disgusting, stringy version of Undead Emmental which is sure to please only the sickest and most twisted of undead mice in the Burroughs Rift. Its awful bouquet brings forth the Tomb Exhumer Mouse, who seeks out the rotting stench as it often reveals ancient tombs filled with treasure.

Composed of concentrated mists from the Rift located closest to the tear. Once introduced to cheese, it immediately absorbs the mixture, becomes fertilized and rapidly sprouts resident flora turning it into Riftiago Cheese.

One bottle of this potion is enough to turn a quantity of Swiss, Brie or SUPERlbrie+ into a sharp cheese that will make the taste buds of the Bardic Mice, who live on Tier 4 of the King's Gauntlet, sing with delight.

The powerful aroma of this potion will transfer well to your Swiss, Brie or SUPERlbrie+, creating a bold cheese which appeals well to the Black Mage and its minions, the denizens of the King's Gauntlet Tier 5.

Pour this potion over your Gouda or SUPERlbrie+, and your cheese will transcend the boundaries of time and space, becoming an anomalous blend fit only for consumption by the King's Gauntlet's most deadly warrior: the Eclipse Mouse.

Ancient potion causes instant aging when applied to Brie or SUPERlbrie+, transforming it into Ancient Cheese, the preferred bait for hunters in the Forbidden Grove. The conversion rate for Ancient Potion is slightly more expensive than other potions, but it also saves time by eliminating the need to collect stale cheese.

This giant bottle of Radioactive Blue Potion can convert more Brie or SUPERlbrie+ into Radioactive Blue cheese, per batch, than any other potion hunters can find. It's quite useful for Hunters looking to stock up in bulk.

The description and inventory cap were changed before the Zombie Invasion Weekend held in August 2015. The original description read as follows:

This cursed potion produces a horrifying bait that attracts Zombies, Ravenous Zombies and bone-chilling Zombot Unipire Mice! So strong is the curse this potion carries that hunters are unable to find more while still holding onto more than a few potions, or pieces of the cheese it produces.

A thick and viscous liquid weighs down this heavy flask. This potion contains dark arcane essence extracted from torrential rains. Add a few drops to Gouda, SUPER|brie+ or Glowing Gruyere to create Rainy Cheese.

Airy and light, this liquid floats on air. This potion contains extracted raw essence of wind. A quaff of this potion could yield quite a weightless experience! Pairs nicely with Gouda, SUPER|brie+ or Glowing Gruyere to create Windy Cheese.

Water your Brie or SUPERlbrie+ with some of this potion, and it will sprout up into a batch of Gnarled Cheese. The more powerful mice in Whisker Woods love Gnarled Cheese's crunchy texture, so be sure to stock up if you're out for big game.

Please do not look directly into the glowing blue liquid inside of this vial without proper UV protection in a well-ventilated area. Snakebite Potion venom is extremely toxic and leads to complete, permanent, and immediate paralysis upon mere olfactorial, visual, or auditory exposure.

Simply place 1 Nitropop Charm into the Dragonbreath Potion, shake vigorously, calmly set it on the ground, then run in the other direction. Return moments later and search the crater for the glowing Dragonbreath Charm. If no crater is discovered, please vacate the area and do not return.

History and Trivia

The words "Cheese Curd" were included in the names of certain potions when they were introduced to the game e.g. Radioactive Blue Cheese Curd Potion, Gnarled Cheese Curd Potion and Ancient Cheese Curd Potion. They were removed during the major update to version 3.0 (Longtail) on 8 June 2010.

Prior to MouseHunt 3.0, hunters were able to carry out a conversion even if they did not have enough cheese to fully utilize the potion.
